Licensing Ladder
Indicative tiers for fair compensation to the inventor and an accessible path for serious counterparties. Final terms are negotiated case by case; figures below are starting ranges, not guarantees.
| Tier | Who | Indicative terms |
|---|---|---|
| Pioneer | Strategic partners (e.g. launch provider, neural interface lab) | 0.5–1% + equity; $5K–25K upfront, 0% royalty |
| Mission-Aligned | Healthcare, clean energy, humanitarian | 1–3%; $10K–100K upfront |
| Commercial | For-profit corporations | 3–5%; $100K–1M upfront |
| Exclusive / Acquisition | Buyers seeking exclusive rights, asset purchase, or full acquisition | By negotiation; founder consulting and earn-out terms available |
| Academic | Universities, researchers | Free (citation only) |
Acquisition path
Serious buyers can propose exclusive license, asset purchase, or full acquisition with founder transition support. A paid evaluation or NDA-scoped briefing typically comes first so both sides know what is being valued.
